Describe the feature

I’m on 0.9

I would love to see a built in reading statistics page that provides long term reading insights similar to MyAnimeList. It could track total books completed, total chapters read, time spent reading, current reading streaks, and other useful reading milestones.

Since accurately tracking pages across every extension is difficult due to different image formats and chapter layouts, an estimated page count based on scroll distance could provide a consistent approximation. Similar to Reddit's banana counter, it wouldn't need to be exact to still be fun and meaningful.

Having these statistics would make it easier to track reading habits over time, set personal goals, and add another layer of engagement to the app without depending on extension specific metadata.

This could also act as a tracker on what books you have already read because I have reread several books before and not realize that until I’m in like chapter 10 or 30 depending on how many pages are in each chapter.
